The Patriots are set to bring back tight end Ben Watson, a source tells ESPN.com’s Field Yates (on Twitter). Watson was cut just last week, but he’ll return in the wake of injuries to tight end Matt LaCosse and fullback Jakob Johnson. 
Watson, 38, is still looking to make his 2019 season debut. He flirted with retirement before he signed with the Pats – then, he was slapped with a suspension for the first month of the year. Then, he got cut just before he was eligible to play.
Watson started his career in 2004 as a first-round pick of the Patriots. He been a key player in many offenses throughout his career, but he took on more of a backup role in 2018 with the Saints. Even as a secondary type in New Orleans, he still finished with 35 receptions for 400 yards and two touchdowns.
Not sure if his blocking is all that great anymore but it’s better than nothing. Now if we can just get Wynn & Harry back from IR and then maybe make a trade.
Well that accomplished nothing
Actually they may have still saved a little cap money
They saved $1.4 mil against the cap so… yeah, I’d say they accomplished quite a bit.
Brady said he wouldn’t “ask” Gronk to come out of retirement. I guess that doesn’t preclude “begging.”
Maybe the Patriots could get Aaron Hernandez on emergency loan out from his current position ??
Nah, Hernandez has a permanent position in Hell…where he belongs.
